Website Construction (CMS-Based)

Project details

What we need
  • Development of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS)
  • Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
  • Note: This project is for a website built with a Content Management System (CMS), such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly . A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily (no coding required!)
What we have in place
  • We currently have a Wordpress site, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicated person on staff invested in this project, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to dedicate those funds to the artists creating our productions and our educational programs benefiting Boston Public School students.

The success of our organization depends on patrons learning about our productions and buying tickets. Without your help, we cannot rebuild our website (especially our broken homepage). Your skills will empower us to create a dynamic and welcoming digital home for our theatre.
